Abstract:
A storing tank, in which the storage space can be multiplied to a suitable extent, and the area occupied by it can be reduced. It has a lower tank member, an access gate, a pushing mechanism, an upper tank member and an outlet. Material put in the access gate falls onto the pushing mechanism to be pushed upwardly into the lower tank member. When the latter is full, the upper tank member is moved upwardly by the increasing material to increase the receiving space until the upper tank member is moved to the highest position. When the outlet is opened, the material can automatically fall down along a bevel guiding surface in the lower tank member and out of the outlet.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for collection, compaction, and ejection of refuse wherein refuse initially dumped into a forward hopper compartment is conducted through an opening in a compaction plate into a storage compartment. A shredding device such as an auger-type impeller is formed as part of the compaction blade assembly and is moveable therewith between a forward position in the hopper compartment and a rearward, compaction position in the storage compartment. The combined impeller and compaction blade assembly permits initial shredding and compaction of refuse during transmission to the storage compartment, with periodic compaction of the storage compartment contents by displacement of the compaction blade assembly rearward. Ejection of refuse from the storage compartment is also accomplished by rearward displacement of the impeller and compaction blade assembly, thereby forcing the contained refuse through a rearward ejection door.
Abstract:
A refuse collector particularly suitable for mounting on a trailer chassis having a loading hopper on the chassis which has a feed screw mounted in it, a container body adapted for tipping over the loading hopper for emptying and means for closing the entrance to hopper when tipping the container body.
Abstract:
A refuse container, which may be mounted on a vehicle, has an emptying hood provided with a charging screw which has its rotational axis located beside a vertical plane substantially parallel to said rotational axis, through the center of the emptying hood, as well as with an opening for manual loading of refuse. Said loading opening comprises a lowered loading ramp which is located on the opposite side of said vertical plane with respect to the charging screw and on a lower level than the inside of the bottom of the refuse container, to facilitate loading thereof.
Abstract:
A device for charging materials in stationary or rotating receptacles or tanks including a vertical panel provided with a changing aperture and applied to a wall of the receptacle, a short cylindrical surface rotatable about a horizontal shaft, axis mounted on the panel and surrounding the charging aperture, and a shell-like contoured concave surface fixed to the panel in front of the charging aperture and extending towards the receptacle.
